Set against the backdrop of World War I, the narrative follows Nikolaus Tarabas, a Catholic landowner's son from the Galician village of Koryla. After participating in an assassination attempt, he is sent to America by his father. A fortune teller's ominous prediction foreshadows his dual fate as both a murderer and a saint. Returning to Koryla amid the war, he grapples with personal turmoil and military leadership during the revolution, all while navigating complex relationships, particularly with his cousin Maria. Joseph Roth's work explores themes of fate, power, and identity.
